A CONVENIENT ART.
How Noted Singer Could Melt the Hearts
of His Creditors.

| From the trumpet in the battle down to
the barrel-organ which it was said served as
| an excuse for a burglar to watch a house
which his Contederates intended to rob, mu-
steal art has been put to a variety of uses.
We are told, too, that it has charms to
soothe a savage breast" and brilliant in
stance Of this is found among the adventures
of FilippO Palma who absolutely found
music OF avail to soften the rugged heart of
q CREDITOR
This artist was notorious for being always
In love and always in debt. One of his old
and tired-out creditors caught him at length
at home one day. Upon being informed of
his Grand and of how the gentleman whom
ne had brought with him would take charge
OF PaImas person in the event of his not
meeting the debt, Palma, it is recorded.
made no other reply to his abuse and his
threats than by sitting down to the harpsi-
chord and singing two or three of his most
touching airs Ito his own accOmpaniments),
which so affected the terrible enemy that he
not only torgave him the debt but actually
lent him ten gulneas to stay the fury of an
other creditor who threatened him with i'm
prlSOnment.
This is much the same sort of sentiment
which once took possession of Farineli's
tailor. To hear of thing which is ito be
D'uSilG loi SONY 700 frequently represents
nothing more than a pleasant figure of
speech Of which the fultilment is never
expected in these hard times. 1t appears,
however, that the above form of expression
was, once upon time, merely the statement
Of a literal fact.
FarinelE having to attend gala at court
ordered very costly suit of clothes, and,
when the tailor brought them home he
asked for his bill.
Il have no bill, sir said the tailor, nor
shall l ever make one. Instead of the
money have favor to ask. | know it is q
.9reat one, but since have had the honor to
work for person Of whom everyone speaks
With rapture, all the payment shall ever
require will be song.f'
In vain did Farinelli press the tailor to
take his money, and after long arguing took
him into his MUSHROOM and sang to him
some of his most brilliant airs. The raw
shed nearer was delighted, and the more he
showed this the more Farinelli strove to
please him. When he had concluded, the
tailor was in ecstasies, and after thanking
him in the most grateful terms, was abort
to retire.
No." said Farinelli, 81 have given way to
your weakness; it is but fair that in your
tur-- you should give way to mine" Then,
taking out his purse he insisted on his re-
celvng sum amounting to nearly double
the worth of the clothes.-Erchanqe

A great crowd gathered about that
humble home, many threats were made,
and there was danger of an uprising.
The priests came and begged him to
cease his impassioned harangue and
| let the funeral proceed without vio-
lence, for they were afraid and then the
"horophilax," or constables, came with
an order OF arrest for the killing of his
sister. They tried to take him, but no
ten could have done it. He threw them
right and left and took to the mountains,
where few of his friends and the be-
trothed of his dshonored sister Joined
him.
An inquest was held, he was Judged
guilty of the murder of his sister, and
standing order for his arrest was placed
upon the records. Thus he became an
outlaw.
lie became terror to all the
country. No one felt safe, and how
many English travellers he captured, and
held for ransom or killed, the history of
modern Greece can tell He never harmed
a Frenchman or American, but all others
he fell upon and captured without dis
tinction. He was only cruel to priests
and judges, who could expect no mercy
from him. The tales of the cruelties
practiced upon the priests would be too
horrible for recital. About two years
after his life as brigand had begun fate
threw into his hands the very judge who
had condemned him, and, as was after
ward proven at his final trial and con-
demnation to death, he had said:
"This is the hand which signed the Or
der for my arrest" And he cut

MY OWN SHALL COME.
JOHN BURROUGHS.

Serene hold my hands and wait,
Nor care for wind, nor tide, nor sea;
| rave no more 'gainst time nor fate,
For 10! my own shall come to me.
| stay my haste, make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
stand amid the eternal ways
And what's mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The friends seek are seeking me;
Nor wind can drive my bark astray,
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if stand alone?
wait with JOY the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown,
And gather up its fruits and tears.
The waters know their own and draw
The brook that springs on yonder height
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the soul of pure delight
The flower nodding in the wind
Is ready plighted to the bee;
And, maiden, why that look unkind?
For 10 thy lover seeketh thee
The stars come nightly to the sky,
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor high,
Can keep my own away from me.

alarm could be given.
He robbed and killed with his handful
of men all the way from Argos to Athens,
and even further; and though he did
much evil after the manner of men of
his class, he did much good. He gave to
the poor what he took from the rich; he
buried the dead and gave marriage por-
tlons to the poor young girls; he gave to
the sick and to churches, though never
to priests, and, in short, made himself
very popular with those whom he did

But they were too much afraid of him.
Too many stories of his superhuman
strength and agility were current and
authentic to permit of this, badly as the
treasury might need funds, and besides
it was barely possible that he had friends
in disguise among the crowd, and he was
promptly refused. Then he said

About his waist he wore a scarlet silk
sash, and this in front was stuck full of

he wore the scarlet fez, with long, dark

turesque dress set off his manly
beauty to its best advantage, and none
could see him without admiring him as

born a robber nor had he been brought

an event happened which changed the
whole course Of his life and set his hand
against everybody and raised every ones
hand against him.
Ills father was dead, and he lived with
his mother and sister only fourteen
years old, maiden as fair as he was
handsome. One day while he was absent
this young sister was stolen away and
kept bya high official for several DAYS,
and then permitted to return broken,

and ne began to suspect that some one

learned the truth, and taking his sister in

sdieu to her mother and him, and plunged
his knife in her bosom When she
was dead he laid her on bier outside
